The redesigned Accutom cut-off machines from Struers are optimized for precision and ease of use to give the user a head start in the drive for perfect specimens. Packed with easy-to-use functions, they enable world-class cutting precision with a minimum of effort. The Accutom-100 includes a MultiCut function for extra productivity, and a grinding mode with multiple bi-directional sweeps between steps to ensure perfect planeness.

Contact

World-class precision

Positioning with fingertip precision is easy. The operating keys on the control panel move the specimen holder in the X-direction with 5.0 or 100 μm increments, and the cut-off/cup wheel motor in the Y-direction. Mounting the specimen holder directly on the X-movement arm ensures a high level of precision and parallelism.

Easy to learn and use

An intuitive user interface provides a clear overview of each method and related cut-off wheels. A smart turn/push knob enables fast selection of settings and large icons provide an easy-to-understand overview of functions.

Optimum preparation quality

Grinding mode is available on Accutom-100 and can be used for all types of material using multiple bi-directional sweeps between movements in the X-direction to ensure perfect planeness. Two grinding modes are available for accurate control of material removal to achieve the optimum preparation result.
